It’s always way too long between the times we see Myndi and Charlie, but the actual time we spend together is always wonderful and familiar. This visit we got to meet Emerson. She’s just as cute as she wants to be, and even though she was initially confused by Uncle Chan (I think Brooke got…
What a great summer. We’re moving into one of my favorite times of the year (especially in New England), but before I completely let summer go I just wanted to remember how nice it was to complain about the heat and Cape traffic. And just as I start complaining about the cold (or long after,…
Melissa and Mike had a fun wedding earlier this summer despite the fact it was raining sideways for much of the day. Since our portrait options were somewhat limited on the day of, Melissa and Mike had the idea to get back in their wedding clothes and take some pictures that included sunshine. They invited Brooke…
It’s easy to go along time without seeing good friends who live real close. But summertime in New England is short. We only have so much time to hang out before we all scurry back into hibernation.

For 30 years my family and two others have visited Emerald Isle, NC for a week in the summer. That means I was two when the tradition started. Having moved to different states four times before I graduated high school (and three since), Emerlad Isle might be the piece of earth I associate most with…
We’re lucky enough to live a long walk or short car ride from the Orange Line. Brooke can take a quick bus ride to the train for her relatively comfortable commute. Although more often than not her husband drives her to Oak Grove. Negotiations usually start shortly after the morning alarm and often tip in…
One of my favorite things to do that I never think to do is go camping. Luckily our friends Jo and Dave invited us to join them for a night on Tully Lake. As my eyes alternately got lost in the campfire and in the stars, I couldn’t believe Brooke and I didn’t get away…
